Building Founder ’96
Founder ’96 brings that creative background to an intimate kind of game: a fictional computer, familiar software, small games and people to talk to. Its focus is the feeling of spending time there, from the sound of an interface to the character of the world beyond its windows.
The project is in development at TIDSANDA. Welcome to 1996. Welcome to Founder.
